Vivitar Flash and Portable soft box

[kptasteve]

Where can I find portable softbox that will fit on the end of the Vivitar Stobe Flash??

Are you looking for something like this?

[kptasteve]

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for, but also do they make them any bigger (the soft box part) or does it matter.

[Saralonde]

This one looks larger. I've haven't tried either one so it may come down to the situation in which you are using it. Generally I'd assume the larger one gives more light spread.

I have seen rigs where people make homemade adapters to fit a larger softbox to their flash. I'm barely dabbling in lighting, but I wonder how large a softbox could be lit well with one flash instead of a large strobe. I gave up on looking for a softbox and went with a large shoot through umbrella...we'll see

this one is very portable and not to much on the expensive side. it folds flat and opens in a matter of seconds.
